Summary

To wrap up this chapter, let's do a quick review of what we covered. We explored the overall look of the new LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor kit. We examined the parts and elements that come with the kit, along with the sensors. Additionally, we took some time to look at the programming software.

Now that we have a basic understanding of the kit and some featured elements, let's finally get to the building of robots. Let's take what we have learned to start building some fun smart robots to challenge our thinking and creativity.

If you have not taken the time to build any of the five robots that are in the software, I would encourage you to take some time to build them and explore the ideas shared. None of these builds are required for the builds in this book, but they do provide a good foundation for the parts and building.

A few of these builds will reference certain build features from these five builds to showcase how these ideas inspire new ideas.

In the next chapter, we will start with a robot arm and claw, a classic build that is always great to build to explore the parts, programming, and use of sensors.
